Here’s a little sneak peek from our Inaugural Military Stole Ceremony 🎓🇺🇸

This unforgettable moment was filled with pride as we honored the incredible journeys and sacrifices of our veteran and military students. It was more than just a ceremony—it was a powerful celebration of resilience, service, and achievement.

We celebrated in style—and we’re just getting started!

On April 16, 2025, we were honored to welcome Chancellor King to our Weekly Veteran and Military Student Session for a meaningful sit-down conversation.

Chancellor King took the time to hear directly from our veteran and military students, discussing their experiences, challenges, and successes here at UW-Whitewater. His presence and genuine interest meant a lot to our military community.

As a fun bonus, everyone who attended received a candy-filled egg, with one lucky student scoring a special prize!
